New Art Exhibit: Power Plants by College of the Desert alumna Cat Chiu
Philips

Opening April 8, 2019

College of the Desert Art Lobby

College of the Desert alumna Cat Chiu Philips creates public
art using traditional handicraft methods of weaving and crochet but with
recycled materials. Inspired by the Japanese term mottainai, which
conveys a sense of regret over waste, Phillips’ project is a solar-powered
installation mimicking desert life growth created entirely from discarded
electronic waste (e-waste).
